Health benefits of pottery

Pottery is one of the most therapeutic crafts out there as it draws on a mix of mental, emotional and kinaesthetic brain functions. Not only can it improve your focus, concentration and give you a sense of creative accomplishment, but it has a meditative element to it. ClassBento potter Leanne Berelowitz shared with us that when she’s working on the pottery wheel all other thoughts drop out of her head and she is drawn into its meditative rhythm.

Terrazzo Workshop: Coasters / Dishes

I absolutely recommend this Terrazzo workshop - our teacher was super friendly, and not only taught us the essentials, but helped us exercise some extra creativity and run with our ideas. There was plenty of different materials to work with, and the length of the workshop (as well as the venue) was just right. I can’t wait to practice my newfound Terrazzo skills at home with the help of our take + more

Make Clay Planters Workshop - Brisbane

Gina was lovely and very knowledgeable when telling and showing us what to do, it was lots of fun mixing and rolling with the clay making the different little hanging planters. Gina was always there to help and had a great variety of items for us to use with the clay!

Joanne Yu

Introductory Wheel Throwing Class

What a fun way to celebrate our anniversary! The class size is very small so you get a lot of individual attention from the instructor, which is great for beginners like us. There’s a lot of information to take in, but our instructor Noy broke down the steps and made it easy and interesting to follow. The location is a bit tricky to find as the driveway could easily be missed, so it’d be good to + more

Introductory Wheel Throwing Class

I had a fantastic afternoon! Location easy to find and plenty of parking. Paul, the resident potter, was very informative and patient. Great class and introduction to pottery. I’m going to book the Introductory (Glazing) class next. Thanks Paul.

Charlotte Hulst

Introductory Wheel Throwing Class

Absolutely brilliant. Paul is a fantastic teacher and with the Social Distancing challenges of running a hands on lesson I thought he did an excellent job. Charli commented to me after the class how wonderful she thought he was. Being only 9 years old I wasn't expecting her to produce much except have a load of fun. To our delight , not only did she have one of the most enjoyable experiences of her + more
